  BLACK BALSAV 5.0

  

  I chose a lightweight model, but with standard Hexer 2.1mm rubbers on both sides, it weighed 149g.
  Using a stroke that utilizes the wrist and forearm, even someone with limited strength like me can easily send the head moving without stress.
  The blade's construction uses balsa wood as the core material, with fiberglass glued and painted on the outermost surface, making it a true outer blade in a sense.
  Perhaps because of this, it has a unique bounce. The ball leaves the racket quickly, but because the core material is hollow, it doesn't fly very far.
  Drives rarely produce a wavy trajectory, but it does "accelerate" on the opponent's court.
  To overwhelm an opponent, you can't expect much variation, so you need to hone your strengths in other areas.

  軽い個体を選んだのもありますが、無印のヘキサー2.1mmを両面に貼って149gでした。
  手首や前腕を使った打法は非力な私でもノンストレスでヘッドが走ります。
  ブレードの構成としては、バルサ材を芯材として、最外面にグラスファイバーを接着塗装してるので、ある意味真のアウターしてます。
  そのせいか弾み方としては独特の感触。球離れは早いのに、芯材がスカスカなので飛びません。
  ドライブはうねる弾道が出ることはほぼなく、相手コートで「加速は」します。
  相手を押し切るには変化に期待できないので、別のところで長所を磨く必要があります。

  HEXER

  

  I'm an old-timer who used to apply glue to Sriver EL.
  I use 2.1mm on both sides.
  A perfect balance for older players.
  Both hits and drives are almost exactly as expected, making it very easy to use.
  The fact that the sheet isn't too sensitive is a key factor.
  It has a decent amount of spin with a slight pull, and even with a half-hearted hit, it's unlikely to become a straight ball. There's a sense of security knowing that no matter what you do, it will land on the table.
  Although it's no longer officially featured, the fact that it hasn't been discontinued suggests there are other enthusiasts besides me.
  It's excellent for those who enjoy the strategic aspect of bowling.

  スレイバーELにグルー塗ってた時代のおじさんです。
  両面2.1mmを使用。
  旧世代の住人にとって程よい塩梅の一品。
  ミート・ドライブのいずれもイメージとほぼズレないので扱いやすさはかなりのもの。
  シートが敏感過ぎないのが効いている。
  それなりに引きつれで回転がかかりつつ、中途半端な当て方でも棒球になりにくい。何をやっても台上に収まる安心感があります。
  公式ではもはや紹介されていないものの廃番になっていないのは、私の他にも愛好者がいるのでしょう。
  駆け引きを楽しむエンジョイ勢には秀逸です。
